Therapy Yoga Therapy

I have training in Trauma-Focused Yoga and Yoga for Mood Management. Yoga delivers many benefits including easing stress, anxiety and depression – bringing balance to the emotional body. Through my training, I have learned how to integrate particular yogic breath work (pranayamas & kriyas) and body postures (asanas) into the psychotherapy setting, helping clients calm feelings of anxiety and reduce symptoms of depression. Yoga therapy is an opportunity to target inner imbalances – specifically mood and maladaptive thought patterns – through the portal of a mind/body practice.

Cultivating a yoga practice can enhance acceptance and happiness in the present moment experience. Emotions and past experiences manifest in the body. By getting attuned to our bodies, we can discover capacities for growth that were once clouded. Developing a yoga practice can help you discover the fertile ground of your authentic self. I offer the opportunity to integrate yogic practices into your therapeutic journey.

Individual Therapy

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process to reach greater health and happiness. Through this journey, you’ll learn effective ways to cope with challenges that arise in your life. My focus is on improving how you understand and navigate life’s relationships, stressors and emotional experiences. I will work with you in an authentic and compassionate way, utilizing an integrated approach to meet your individual needs – helping you create a more balanced life.

What to Expect

The first few sessions will be spent discussing what brought you to psychotherapy and what issues I might be able to assist you with. During this initial phase, we will discuss a plan moving forward, creating a road map for the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy can be time-limited, or an ongoing process of deep personal healing and growth. Together, we will establish mutually agreed-upon psychotherapy goals.

A typical session is 60 minutes, however, longer sessions are available. Our goals and roadmap for therapy will determine what I recommend for session length and frequency.

Family Therapy

The definition of family is flexible and fluid. Family therapy can help modern families successfully work through life transitions such as marriage, divorce, death, or other changes that might arise. I might work with one dyad within a larger family system, or the entire family itself – depending on your needs. Through psychotherapy, families can learn how to communicate more effectively and deepen connections with one another.

I also offer the opportunity to integrate Mindfulness-Based Strategies such as meditation and yoga into the family therapy process in order to strengthen bonds, enhance insight within the family dynamics and to create a safe container for communication.

Adolescent and Young Adult Therapy

I specialize in Adolescent and Young Adult Therapy; assisting young people to navigate the winds of emotional, psychological and environmental change. These formative years can trigger significant stress, confusion and emotional instability. I will provide an empathic space to help individuals regain balance and gain a deeper understanding of their lives in relation to the changes that are occurring. Family participation is an integral part of helping an adolescent so I request that the initial session include key family members.
